The Invalides the Rodin Museum.
The avenue de la Tour Maubourg was extended as far as the pont des Invalides.
Cailleteau had worked on the palace of Versailles and Les Invalides, and knew the royal style very well,
but he died in 1724.
It is called Les Invalides because it was built by Louis XIV as a home
and medical care facility for disabled and needy soldiers.
For example, if you are staying in the Le Marais neighborhood you can take metro line 8(pink)
and connect with RER C at the Invalides stop.
With the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides, the Rodin Museum,
and a load of ministries and consulates, this is one of the city's grandest neighborhoods, with oodles of stately buildings and tony shops.
Hotel des Invalides, I do not know;
but I thought that his industry would not be worth much thereafter. I never learned which party was victorious, nor the cause of the war; but I felt for the rest of that day as if I had had my feelings excited and harrowed by witnessing the struggle, the ferocity and carnage, of a human battle before my door.
